5 C HAPTER 12 Drawings This User Guide Addendum contains updated information for SP1 in various sections of chapter 12 of the Alibre Design v10 User Guide Creating a New Drawing Selecting a Drawing Template You can select from a number of standard drawing templates, your own custom templates, or a blank drawing of varying size. ANSI, DIN, and ISO drawing templates are supported. To select a drawing template: 1. In the New Sheet Properties dialog, select Template or Blank Sheet. 2. If you selected Template, also select a standard drawing template from the list. To use a custom drawing template not listed, click Browse and select the template from the Custom Drawing Template dialog. OR, if you selected Blank Sheet, select a sheet size from the list. Note: If you have previously browsed to another template folder, you can use the Default button to reset the template list back to the system template folder. 3. If desired, enter a name for the sheet in the Sheet Name field. 4. In the Default View Scale area, specify the scale to use in the drawing. The scale can be changed later if necessary. 5. To create a drawing with no models associated with it, check the Create An Empty Drawing box. 6. Click OK. If you selected a standard or custom template, the Fill In Text dialog may appear. 1

6 Inserting Standard Views You can select which standard views you initially want to create in the drawing. You can insert additional standard views later as necessary. To insert the standard views: 1. A preview of the selected part or assembly is shown in the Front View preview window. To select a different part, click the Browse button to make a new selection. 2. Select the view that you want to use as the Front View in the drawing. You can use the arrow buttons to reorient the view in the preview window. You can also click the Workspace Orientation button to select from default and custom views created in the part or assembly workspace. 2

7 3. In the View Selections area select the views that you want to insert into the drawing. The default views are Front, Top, and Right. To add or remove a view, click the view's corresponding button. 4. If multiple configurations of the design exist, select which one you want to use for these views from the Configurations list. 5. In the case of assemblies, if any exploded views were created in the assembly workspace, you can also select an exploded view from the Exploded Views list. 6. To see all of the options at the bottom of the dialog, if they are not visible, click the More Options button. 7. In the View Creation Options section: a. Check the Fast Views box to use Fast View Mode on these views. Fast View mode produces a less precise image (visually), but is substantially faster for large or very complex assemblies. b. Enter a value for the view scale into the Scale field; or, check the option Use Sheet scale, which will select the Sheet scale that was set in the New Sheet Properties dialog. c. Select the Project as Flat Pattern option if desired for sheet metal parts. 8. In the View Detailing Options section: a. Check Select All to enable all of the available options. b. Check Hidden Lines to display the entities that would not be directly visible. c. Check Centermarks and/or Centerlines if you want to display them. 3

8 d. Check the Design Dimensions box if you want to display the driving dimensions from the model. (These will be the original model dimensions. If you have used any Push/Pull functions, the final model dimensions resulting from those will not be displayed.) e. Check Hole Callouts to display the full hole callout for holes created using the Hole feature. f. Check Cosmetic Threads to display a representation of the threads on a threaded hole. g. Check Tangent Edges to include the tangent edges in the view. h. Check Bend Centerlines to add center lines to bends in sheet metal parts. i. Check Part Trails to include the trail lines for exploded views of assemblies. 9. Click OK to create the views. Previews of the selected views are displayed in the work area. Note that the cursor is essentially tied to the front view. As you move the cursor, the views will all move together. 10. Move the cursor to dynamically re-position the front view to the correct location within the drawing sheet. 11. Click to place the front view. The corresponding views are also placed. The dimensions that were used to create the part are displayed automatically in the corresponding view (if you checked the option to include design dimensions). The Drawing Explorer on the left side of the work area lists the sheets associated with the drawing as well as the views associated with each sheet. The associated design is also listed under the view. 4

9 NOTE: Alibre Design supports both First Angle and Third Angle projection methods. You can set the projection method for a drawing in the Detailing tab of the Drawing Properties dialog. Click Properties in the File main menu to bring up the Drawing Properties dialog Saving and Opening a Drawing No updates to section Working in a Drawing Updating Drawing Views It is likely that you will need to make changes to your part and assembly models even after you have created 2D drawings of the models. When you make a change to a part or assembly model and save the model, the 2D drawing becomes outdated, because it does not contain the most recent model information. You can update the drawing to bring in the new model data. To update drawing views: 1. Select the Reproject Outdated Views tool from the Detailing toolbar; or, from the Tools menu, select Reproject Outdated Views. The Reproject dialog appears. 2. Choose one of the following options: a. Fast Views - the outdated items will be projected in Fast View mode b. Precise Views - the outdated items will be projected in the standard mode c. Retain View Mode - the outdated views will be projected in whichever mode they are currently in 3. Click OK to continue updating the drawing. Note: If you do not want to reproject your views, click Cancel. If you do not reproject your views, your 2D drawing will continue to be out of date, you will have limited editing options when working with your 2D Drawing until you reproject all outdated views. 5

10 Reordering Sheets You can quickly change the order of the sheets in the drawing file. To reorder the sheets: 1. Select the Reorder Sheets tool from the Detailing toolbar; or, from the Edit menu, select Reorder Sheets. The Reorder Sheets dialog appears. 2. Click the sheet you want to move. 3. Choose the appropriate button on the right to move the sheet to the desired position. 4. Click OK to accept the new sheet order and exit the dialog Dimensioning No updates to section Inserting Additional Views Detail View A detail view is a view that shows a portion of an existing view at an enlarged scale. To create a detail view: 1. Select the Activate 2D Sketch tool from the Sketching toolbar. 2. Sketch any closed figure enclosing the area that you want to detail. 6

11 3. Select the Detail View tool from the Detailing toolbar; or from the Insert menu, select Detail View. 4. Select the sketch figure. A preview of the detail view appears. 5.
